Short Date Validation Javascript

For those of you who use the nls_date_format = MM/DD/YYYY date format and want the same functionality for validation as isDate found in 9iAS, here is a function that you can use. It works in WebDB 2.2 as well. It checks for a valid date, including leap year adjustments, and allows for "short" short dates: if just the month and day are entered, a year assumption is inserted. Two digit years are corrected to four digit years with an assumption as well. Any date separator syntax is allowed as well, for example if you prefer dots (.) or dashes (-). Try it - pretty much any date that is "close" is corrected to the proper format. Here it is:
function isUSShortDate(e){
tda =new Array(31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31);
v=e.value;if (v==""){return true}
r= new RegExp("\[^0-9\/]","g");v=v.replace(r,"/");
a=v.indexOf("/",0);b=v.indexOf("/",a+1);
ndd=new Date();nfn=ndd.getFullYear();nfs=nfn.toString()
if (a==-1){err(e);return false}
else{ims=v.substr(0,a);
if (ims.length>2){err(e);return false};
if (ims.length==2){rms=ims};
if (ims.length==1){rms="0"+ims};
if (b==-1){l=v.length-a-1}else{l=b-a-1}
ids=v.substr(a+1,l);
if (ids.length>2){err(e);return false}
if (ids.length==2){rds=ids}}
if (ids.length==1){rds="0"+ids}
if (b!=-1){iys=v.substr(b+1);
if ((iys.length!=2)&&(iys.length!=4)){
err(e);return false}
if (iys.length==2){
iyn=Number(iys);ncn=Number(nfs.substr(0,2))
if(iyn>(50+nfn-2000)){ncn=ncn-1}
rcs=ncn.toString();rys=iys}
if (iys.length==4){
rcs=iys.substr(0,2);rys=iys.substr(2,2)}}
else{rcs=nfs.substr(0,2);rys=nfs.substr(2,2);
tfn=new Date(rms+"/"+rds+"/"+rcs+rys);
x=1.5768E10;diff=tfn.valueOf()-ndd.valueOf();
if(diff>x){tfn=nfn-1;tfs=tfn.toString();
rcs=tfs.substr(0,2);rys=tfs.substr(2,2)}
if(diff<-x){tfn=nfn+1;tfs=tfn.toString();
rcs=tfs.substr(0,2);rys=tfs.substr(2,2)}}
rfs=rcs+rys;rfn=Number(rfs);
if((rfn%4==0 && rfn%100!=0)| |(rfn%400==0)){tda[1]=29}
rdn=Number(rds);rmn=Number(rms);
if ((rdn<1)| |(rdn>tda[rmn-1])){err(e);return false}
if ((rmn<1)| |(rmn>12)){err(e);return false}
e.value=rms+"/"+rds+"/"+rcs+rys;
return true;
function err(e){e.value="Invalid";e.focus();e.select()}

Urgent--Problem in Date validations in Javascript.

Hi ,
I am facing problem in date validation in javascript.The requirement is my PO delivery date should be greater than my Sysdate.For that I wrote Javascript programme as below-
function sysValidate(item){
                    var itemValue=item;
// alert(itemValue);
/* if((itemValue == '')||(itemValue == null))
return false;
                    var today = new Date();
                    var sysDay = today.getDate();
                    var sysMonth = today.getMonth()+1;
                    var sysYear = today.getFullYear();
                    var fieldArray = itemValue.split("/");
                    var itemDay = parseInt(fieldArray[0]);
                    var itemMonth = parseInt(fieldArray[1]);
                    var itemYear = parseInt(fieldArray[2]);
if(itemYear > sysYear)
return false;
                    else{
                         if(itemYear < sysYear)
                              return true;
                         else{
                              if(itemMonth > sysMonth)
                                   return false;
                              else{
                                   if(itemMonth < sysMonth)
                                        return true;
                                   else{
if(itemDay >=sysDay)
return false;
                                        else
return true;
Now inspit of my PO delivery date greater than sysdate ,while saving record I am getting Alert as Save denied as delivery date prior to sysdate
The code for alert is as follows-
if(sysValidate(exdate))
alert("Save denied as delivery date prior to sysdate");
bool=false;
return bool;
Plz,help.As this problem is occuring on Production Server due to this my suppliers can't save record.
Vaish...

hi Vaish,
here is the code i have modified
<script>
function sysValidate(item){
var itemValue=item;
var fieldArray = itemValue.split("/");
var today = new Date();
var sysdate=new Date(today.getFullYear(),today.getMonth(),today.getDate(),0,0,0);
var inputdate=new Date(parseInt(fieldArray[2]),parseInt(fieldArray[0])-1,parseInt(fieldArray[1]),0,0,0);
alert("sysdate "+sysdate);
alert("inputdate "+inputdate);
days=Math.round((sysdate.getTime()-inputdate.getTime())/1000/60.0/60.0/24.0);
if(days<=0)
     return true;
else
     return false;
</script>
call the validate method form here :
<script>
if(sysValidate("07/24/2005"))
alert("Save denied as delivery date prior to sysdate");
else{
alert("Saved successfully")
}

List data validation failed when creating a new list item but does not fail when editing an existing item

Dear SharePoint Experts,
Please help.
Why does my simple formula work in Excel but not-work in SharePoint?
Why does this formula...
=IF([Request Type]="Review",(IF(ISBLANK([Request Date]),FALSE,TRUE)),TRUE)
...work in Excel but fail when I try to use it in SharePoint?
The intent of this formula is the following...
If the field "Request Type" has the value "Review" and the field "Request Data" is blank then show FALSE, otherwise show TRUE.
SharePoint saves the formula, but when a list item is saved where the formula is implemented, (under List Settings, List Validation), SharePoint does not, say anything other than that the formula failed.
Note that the "list data validation failed" error only happens when I am creating a new item-- the formula above works just fine when one is trying to Save on the edit form.
Can you help?
Thanks.
-- Mark Kamoski

Dear Jason,
I appreciate your efforts.
However, it seems to me that this statement of yours is not correct...
"If it meet the validation formula, then you can new or edit the item, otherwise, it will throw the 'list data validation failed' error, it is by design".
I believe this is NOT the answer for the following reasons.
When I create a new item and click Save, the validation error is "list data validation failed".
When I edit an existing item and click Save, the validation error is "my custom error message" and this is, I believe, the way it needs to work each time.
I think, at the core, the error my formula does not handle some condition of null or blank or other default value.
I tried a forumla that casts the date back to a string, and then checked the string for a default value, but that did not work.
I tried looking up the Correlation ID in the ULS when "list data validation failed" occurs, but that gave no useful information because, even though logging was set to Verbose, the stack trace in the error log was truncated and did not given any
good details.
However, it seems to me that SharePoint 2013 is not well-suited for complex validation rules, because...
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation (NOT column-level validation) allows only 1 input for all the multi-field validation formulas in a given list-- so, if I had more than 1 multi-field validation rule to implement on a given list, it would need to be packed
into that single-line-of-code forumla style, like Excel does. That is not practice to write, debug, or maintain.
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation only allows 1 block of text for all such multi-field validation rules. So that will not work because I would have something like "Validation failed for one or more of the following reasons-- withdrawal cannot exceed
available balance, date-of-birth cannot be after date-of-death,... etc". That will not work for me.
The real and awesome solution would simply be enhancing SP 2013 so that column-level validation forumlas are able to reference other columns.
But, for now, my workaround solution is to use JavaScript and jQuery, hook the onclick handler on the Save button, and that works good. The only problem, is that the jQuery validation rules run before any of the column-level rules created with OOTB
SP 2013. So, in some cases, there is an extra click for the enduser.
Thanks,
Mark Kamoski

Date Validation - a Nightmare for ME!

Hi, I searched the forum and came up with some code that works for me partially. I am still having problems with getting the end result that is needed.
I need to do a date validation where the begin date is less than end date. Below is the syntax..It works but when I put in the correct end date i still get the error message athough the date is correct. Also if I set the focus back to the field and correct the date it still set focus back... I'm sure it is something simple that I am missing
----- form1.subformpage1.empnsubform.DateTimeField2::exit - (JavaScript, client) -------------------
if (DateTimeField2.formattedValue>=DateTimeField1.formattedValue);
xfa.host.messageBox("Incorrect Date range");
What am I missing? Yes I still struggle with writing scripts!!!!
thanks

I have a similar thing on one of my forms, the fields are "Date Submitted" and "Date Needed" and I need to validate that the Date Submitted date occurs before the Date Needed date. If it does not, it prompts a response dialog box and asks for a new DateNeed to be entered. Here is the code I used: (I'm by no means an expert at code)<br /><br />//This just sets the values of the date/time fields to variables, and then checks for a null value. If null, it changes the rawValue to an empty string for inserting into database. If not null, it leaves the existing rawValue unchanged. Unless you're writing info to a database, you probably wouldn't need this.<br /> <br />var DateSubmit = form1.MainForm.Info.DateSubmitted.rawValue == null ? "" : form1.MainForm.Info.DateSubmitted.rawValue;<br />var DateNeed = form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.rawValue == null ? "" : form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.rawValue;<br /><br />if (DateNeed<DateSubmit)<br /><br />{<br /><br /> var dateResponse = xfa.host.response("The Date Needed date must be later than the Date Submitted date.\nPlease enter new date below: (MM/DD/YYYY format)", "Date Needed Error");<br /><br /> var myDate = new Date(dateResponse);<br /><br /> var myFormattedDate = util.printd("dd mmm yyyy", myDate);<br /><br /> form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.formattedValue = myFormattedDate;<br /><br />}<br /><br />BTW, I have this as code on a submit button that does all of my validations and then writes a new record to a database. But I think you could also do this on the exit event of the second date/time field if needed. The variable declarations at the top would be slightly different.<br /><br />Lynne

Date validation with minValue on 1st February

Here is my validation on a textfield which expect a date :
var dateValidation = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("dateValidation", "date",
{isRequired:false, format:"dd/mm/yyyy", validateOn:["blur"],
minValue:"31/01/2008", useCharacterMasking:true});
Test with these parameters :
Today date : 31/01/2008
Try to enter 01/02/2008 and this date is detected as a date
in the past.
You can do the same with each year: try to put your today
date on 31/01/2009 and enter 01/02/2009...
Is it a bug from Spry?

I debug the "SpryValidationTextField.js" and I found a bug in
the date validation function.
In javascript, when you create a new date, the month is on
base "0".
So when your month is January and the value typed is 1. If
you would like to create a new date based on this month, you have
to specified the month "0".
Adobe Spry Team,
could you correct the line :
return (new Date(theYear, theMonth, theDay);
by:
return (new Date(theYear, theMonth - 1, theDay);

Hi,
You'll need to get javascript date from LCD field, and calculate & compare with the future date in javascript date.
try following script;
var sDate = StartDate.rawValue;
var wkStartDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
var nYear = wkStartDate.getFullYear();
var nMonth = wkStartDate.getMonth();
var nDay = wkStartDate.getDate();
var wkFutureDate = new Date(nYear + 30 , nMonth, nDay);
sDate = EndDate.rawValue;
var wkEndDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
if (wkEndDate.getTime() > wkFutureDate.getTime()){
xfa.host.messageBox("May not be greater than 30 years from the start date");
xfa.host.setFocus(this);

Date validation question

Hey all,
I have a form which allows the user to select a month, day, and year for an order. Each (mm/dd/yyyy) are individual menu selects.
Is there a way to validate that what they enter is greater than today's date? I might be able to do this with javascript but if there is a way to do it with jsp, that'd be great.
thanks!!!

Excise Invoice Cancellation on Date validation only

Hi Experts,
i am having critical requirement from Business, which is not available in SAP Standard, So i need help from you guys...
Excise invoice can be cancelled on the same day of system/posting date. but when the system date and posting dates are not matching it should through error..
Example : i created Excise invoice on 17th june,2011 this is posting date of excise invoice, if i try to cancell on 17th june , it should allow.
                    but when i try to cancell the excise invoice on 18th june (system date) , it should not allow to cancell and it say Error !!!
i heard there will be possible through User Exit OR Function Module OR Routins ... Please help me
Thanks and Regards
Madhu

Dear Madhusudhanan,
Following are the list of User Exits available for J1IIN
J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXCISE_BEF_SAVE User exit after the excise header and details are written and they can changed in J1IS , J1IIN and Automatic creation of Excise Invoice.
J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXINV_ADDL_DATA User exit for Excise Invoice Additional Data    in J1IS and J1IG
J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1I5_MATFORM    User exit for J1I5 material form changes
J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1I5_VALIDATE   User exit for subsequent J1I5 data validation
J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1IEX_BEF_SAVE User exit for J1IEX before the data is saved
J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1IEX_CHANGE    User exit for changing data before display
J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1IS_BASE_VALUE User exit to Change base value in J1IS
I strongly believe that the first exit will serve the purpose.
Now if you are cancelling it using J1IH, Check the following thread.
J1IH-User Exit

Data Validation - a feature that Numbers really needs.

Right now, the newly purchased Numbers app for iPad/iPhone is little more than a crippled document viewer for me because numbers doesn't support 'data validation' (as implemented in excel).
Its not a hard concept and likely utilized in a LOT of spreadsheets on the planet. Not supporting such a critical feature is a problem, as it makes numbers, at least for me, rather pointless as an authoring tool since I cannot change or update data in my worksheet without likely corrupting the document's data integrity.
Hopefully, someone at Apple is working on fixing this.
Given that one cannot use data validation - how do I lock down a spreadsheet so I don't accidentally change cell contents?
The fact that there is no 'undo' button on the iPhone version that I do get on the iPad (same app) makes it worse.. I'm occasionally and unintentionally dragging selections of stuff around the page really hosing up the iPhone spreadsheet.
So I need to just remember what needs to be updated, update the excel spreadsheet when I can, then delete the iWork-iCloud doc, upload the replacement, then refresh the iPhone/iPad version.. very cumbersome and not at all 'cloud-like' or usefull.
Apple developers.. are you paying attention?

Yeah I know that apple likely has the same system as Microsoft in sending general support to a forum such as this. And maybe thae same stupid moron that not paying attention to the forums if their users is a food idea.
That doesn't change the point of the issue nor that apple directs ,e here to ask said question

Hi All,
I am having a strange issue Kindly please help me .
I have a data form which have data validation on each cell.The dataform is quite large and contain data for 4 accounts and year (Jan to Dec) combination .The issue is that I when I migrate this data form to other application which is just the replica of the main application. The validation on each cells changes its reference points.
I have 5 more similar data form and I need to migrate then to other application and also on production sever. Is there any way that while exporting and importing them using formutil.cmd or other way that the validation cells reference does not change its reference point.
For ex I have validation on Cell A5,A6..........AA6 after migrating it changes to A1,A1.........AA1.
I am using 11.1.2.1.0 version of Hyperion Planning
Kindly please help.
Thanks in advance
Vikash
Edited by: user11391767 on Nov 30, 2011 10:47 AM

Hi Mehmet,
I tried using the FormDefUtil.cmd .But by using this the reference points of validation changes to first cell when imported.
Thanks
